Toulouse Cuisine

Foie gras stewed with onions and figs will be the centrepiece of any fine dinner in Toulouse, along with confit de canard, made by stuffing the liver and other organs of a goose with herbs and roasting for 4-10 hours.

Cassoulet dish.

The daily meals of families in Toulouse include traditional dishes such as aligot (boiled potatoes mashed with cheese and shaped into cakes) or bougnette (shredded bread mixed with eggs and minced meat, then shaped into balls and baked).

Surely visitors cannot miss cassoulet, the perfect dish for winter. A pot of cassoulet including goose meat, Toulouse sausage, pork skin and white beans stewed for many hours will warm the stomach of the eater in the cold winter days.

The Toulouse region is influenced by the Mediterranean climate, so it grows a wide variety of fruit. Local housewives are also famous for their fruit cakes, such as fénétra (apricot and almond cake) or pastis gascon (apple cake).

Pastis gascon, in particular, has been elevated to haute cuisine thanks to the use of apples that have been injected with Armagnac while still on the tree. Recipes that date back to the time of the ancient Roman Empire continue to be refined in ways few people would expect.

Brique du Capitol Candy.

A popular gift to bring back from Toulouse is the Brique du Capitol. Created by Nougalet (one of France’s oldest confectionery and chocolate brands) and inspired by the pink tiles of Toulouse.

Brique du Capitol candy is made from the highest quality sugar, almonds, hazelnuts and vanilla. Biting into the candy, visitors will feel each layer of crispy candy burst in their mouth. Visitors should also visit Nougalet's store near the Victor Hugo market gate to buy genuine and best quality Brique du Capitol candy.
